This should cause some controversy.. My choices certainly will.. Here goes....
1. Muhummad Ali
2. Noel Quarless (bring it on!)
3. Mike Tyson
4. Roy Jones jnr
5. Floyd Patterson
6. Tony Tubbs
7. Gene Tunney
8. Joe Louis
9. Jack Johnson
10. Rocky Marciano (Just shades it from Dempsey)
I look forward to reading your opinions, Regards MM
Boxing is not all about speed, a lot of it is about timing. In Rocky's case he was all about superior strength and conditioning.

You're obviously quite intelligent & seem to know your chosen subject more so than most of the ( Can't be bothered to reply to's) That establishes your a decent fan/participator, especially with the video's included, makes you a worthy "undisputed champion" Fair play!
However.... I very nearly tried to bate you on ( Don't give me the "Super Human thing" ) with regard to the Rock.. I'm glad I didn't because you've just explained it correctly WITHOUT me having to wind you up for a passionate answer.. Indeed, timing plays a huge part, which is why a lot of the old guys get sparked as speed of mind orchestrates sleight of hand/timing.. I conclude a split decision in your favour due to the fact that Quarless never went the distance with anyone special, but still say that Marciano was faster than anyone in the trenches, & YES, his conditioning was trully outstanding... Regards MM..
Yeah... Good call! Forgot about him... Gonna stick to the Queens English from now on... Abreiviations never been my strong point... Quarless was faster than Charles! You ever see Charles take out guys like that?? With regard to Walcott, Moore & Charles, boxing's all about hand speed, so why did the Rock whoop em all?? Early speed means nothing unless you can take it to the bell...

Ali was the fastest with single punches, Patterson was the fastest combination puncher.
To be honest I don't see it with Quarless. He wasn't that fast.
Here are his two best performances:
Here's "Dynamite" Dokes handling John L. Gardner:
Also Rocky Marciano shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10. He was quite slow compared to the fastest heavyweights. Even Walcott, Moore and Charles were beating him to the punch all the time.
He was just very persistent and waited until the later rounds when his foes would slow down to land his own punches.

Doesn't "ATM" mean "At The Moment"?
Yeah... My mistake, got cash on the brain at the moment, but no one ever seems to pull up the people that can't spell Jack Shit..

When Roy was at Heavyweight, he was the fastest Heavyweight of his time. You should take him off of there if he's not going to be number 1. Other than that, good list.
One of the greateast speedsters of all time but he was only there (briefly) on the strength of 1 McDonalds.. I'm pretty sure that if he'd acclimatized & stayed there, he'd have less defeats on his record... Agreed?
Agreed. He has the speed and the hunger which is needed and is going to be a real big shock to the people that doubt him.
You know ya speed, hence ya moniker.. That's what it's all about! Respect, MM

first off, I don't know if roy jones should even be on the list but if you are going to put him in, wtf is he doing at #4? Jones EASILY is the fastest on that list even as a hw. and I wouldn't even put Marciano on my top 50 fastest hw list. that is one random list for sure.
You're a Londoner (same as me).. YES, Yes, yes, but wait for it, wait for it, wait for it cos I think he's gonna shut a few mouths...
